AB  - Neuromyelitis optica, also known as Devic disease, was identified in the 19th 
      century, is one of the inflammatory idiopathic demyelinating diseases of the 
      central nervous system, often mistaken for severe multiple sclerosis. In 1999 it 
      had been proposed diagnostic criteria for neuromyelitis optica, but in 2006 these 
      criteria were revised by Dean Wingerchuck. These criteria are 99% sensitive and 
      90% specific for differentiating neuromyelitis optica from multiple sclerosis 
      that present with optic neuritis or a myelitis syndrome. In the following article 
      we present clinical, spinal and cerebral MR imaging, serological and aspects of 
      cerebrospinal fluid examination features of neuromyelitis optica and the revised 
      criteria of neuromyelitis optica established in 2006. The recently identified 
      serum antibody biomarker: neuromyelitis optica immunoglobulin G (NMO Ig G), which 
      target aquaporin 4 water channel, distinguish neuromyelitis optica from multiple 
      sclerosis, is one of the revised criteria of neuromyelitis optica.
